Admins, are these ok to be served locally from the HR site? I'm guessing yes, but I want your blessing! :) --Stux 01:44, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Oh, and here's a "Whatever", cuz I had to add it! ;) --Stux 01:45, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

No. They only can be served from the Wiki. —Gafaddict (Talk | Contribs.) 01:56, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Oops! By HR site I meant the wiki! :) Stux

Does the gallery feature allow for subtitles? I liked the ability to click on each character's name to get to their page. --Stux 02:27, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I had an idea

Back when it was a graph, I had an idea. Why don't we include the dates of when each head was used? - Joshua

Good idea! I was thinking to also include the last quote that they had and a link to it, but maybe that is 'overkill'. --11945 (^Talk/_Ctrbs) 02:27, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Dates by themselves should work. - Joshua

That's really not necessary, because that's noted on the Quote of the Week page. — It's dot com 02:32, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

But we love organizing stuff many different ways. Eh, I don't really care so much. - Joshua 02:33, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Background

The backround of that gallery is slightly different than white. Can someone fix that (I don't know how)? The picture backrounds are white, not transparent. --11945 (^Talk/_Ctrbs) 02:26, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I don't know whether that's changeable. We may just have to live with that. — It's dot com 02:32, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I agree, although I wish u could change it. SM looks kinda freaky. — _talk Bubsty _edits

I've been trying, but so far no luck. See this page for info. — It's dot com 02:36, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

If we change it back to a table, there would be a way to make it look like a gallery and get the backrounds white. Also, it would make it look --Stux 03:04, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)like the QOW page. --11945 (^Talk/_Ctrbs)

Meh, I think that would be only a marginal improvement, especially considering how convenient the gallery is. — It's dot com 02:46, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Apparently According to Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Gallery, the only facilities it provides is referencing the links and adding optional text. --Stux 02:45, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Options: we can use the Wiki tables format (haven't learned that one quite well yet), or we can use the hard-coded gallery output and change the color like this:

<table class="gallery" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td> <div class="gallerybox"><div class="thumb" style="padding: 26px 0;">

and then modify the color settings (ugh somehow, -- i'm still not that familiar with CSS)

We could also photoshop all of the backgrounds. (forgot to sign) --Stux 02:51, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I fixed Strong Mad (hard-refresh to see it). Does it look good? Do the rest need to be fixed? — It's dot com 02:56, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I like!... It definitely looks good! And it would be nice to see them all fit the same pattern (are you keeping the original white versions? I'm a perfectionist at heart. Somewhere.) Keep in mind these aren't exactly the original pictures extracted but no one really can tell 'except us in the trenches. So the white versions would be great (I know Smiley liked that), but I personally am happy with gray. --Stux 03:04, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

It definitely looks better, but I'm not sure if it'll be worth all the effort. - Joshua 02:59, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I can do the graying stuff here, I just have never uploaded pictures. --Stux 03:04, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)
